Wow, that was short-lived. This Chase Sapphire Preferred Card’s increased offer from 60K to 80K became available mid-April, and we were just advised that it will end on June 1. I’m confirming the time the offer ends, but, I’ll say this…DO NOT WAIT TILL THE LAST MINUTE TO APPLY. When using our link, the link usually goes down 2pm-3pm EST. So keep that in mind.
Chase Sapphire Preferred Card. LEARN HOW TO APPLY
What are examples of where these points have taken me and my family
Click on the destination to get the details how I booked, this will show you various examples what 80K bonus points could do for you:
- Philippines – depending on the timeframe, 80,000 was able to get us one roundtrip ticket to the Philippines. In 2019, 7 members of my family flew to the Philippines for free and used roughly 60K points per person from LAX to Manila round trip, that was during the high season (holidays). I did a similar booking for my sister in law a year prior, she only used 51,000 points during the low season, and she went from Los Angeles, visited her son in Japan, and then went to the Philippines, and the back to the US, all for 51,000 points.
- Japan – 12 members of my family flew to Japan for FREE in Spring 2019, and we used roughly 40,000+ Chase Ultimate Rewards per person
- Hawaii – we’ve gone to Hawaii many times and have transferred 26,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards to British Airways (a travel partner), and booked flights with American Airlines to Hawaii. 80,000 could get you up to 3 tickets to Hawaii. During low season, I’ve seen these fares go below 20K roundtrip.
- Costa Rica – I found a low airfare from Los Angeles to Costa Rica and used an average of 25,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards per person, so with the right deal and timing, 80K could get you 2-3 tickets to Costa Rica round trip.
- Barcelona/Amsterdam– using points with Chase Sapphire Preferred, this would’ve meant using around 30K points per person roundtrip from Los Angeles to Amsterdam to Barcelona (round trip).
- Business class from HK to Taipei on Cathay Pacific– we transferred points from Chase to British Airways and booked seats with Cathay Pacific from Hong Kong to Taipei. On the return we flew coach – total for 2 = 27,000 points
I could go on and on…

Questions to ask yourself and things to keep in mind.

Are you under 5/24? You have to be under 5/24 to get this card. Still don’t know 5/24. PLEASE, PLEASE REVIEW THIS….THIS IS KEY. No matter where you are in this hobby (new or seasoned) you have to know your 5/24 status. So please, educate yourself and learn. This is PARAMOUNT. https://tinyurl.com/524rule

Should you get the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card? If you are new, or you meet many of the requirements below…THIS IS THE CARD TO GET. THIS IS THE PERFECT STARTER CARD. If this was a medication, this is HIGHLY PRESCRIBED.
-
Have you had a Sapphire card before? (Preferred, Reserve, and/or the no annual fee Sapphire Card)
-
If you have/had a Sapphire card, has it been 48 months or greater since you got the Sapphire bonus? REMEMBER: When you received the last Sapphire bonus is KEY, not when you opened up the Sapphire card.
-
If you got the bonus less that 48 months ago, you will NOT qualify to apply for a new CSP.
-
How do you know WHEN you got the last Sapphire bonus? Go back to your old statements. Or, you can try and call Chase and ask.
